After awaking to the first blanket of snow in my small village in Fife, I dashed towards my mini 3 pro and rushed to get some morning light. This was my first video edited with Da Vinci Resolve so it’s not my best edit. I hope the footage is done at least some justice.

Snow and sunrise are always a great combination and you have done a good job with your first edit. What was that bird towards the end, a buzzard perhaps? One of the most difficult parts of getting footage like yours is…..getting out of bed! Thanks for sharing.

I think you did well...with your flying, the great footage and your editing. Winter sure shows a different contrast compared to summer. Almost a black & white feel, but there is color in there. Do you know why there are red markings on the sheep? Just curious.

Almost makes me want to leave the desert and go back to land with snow... ALMOST. Nice video.

Yep, it was indeed a buzzard. My brother spotted it through the trees into the field. At first I thought it may have been an owl, but was almost disappointed to find a common buzzard. I agree that it is hard to get up early these days, but after I saw the golden light and the fresh snow, I was motivated enough to get the drone up for the first time in a couple of months or so. Thank you for your comment.

It was basically just black and white footage since I shot it in D-cine like, but after a little work on Da Vinci, the sun rise popped a bit. The markings are so that the farmers don't get confused as to which sheep is theirs if they happen to end up in the wrong field.

Amazing how a dusting of snow changes things. Also interesting to see different stuff like the 'elves' walking in the back garden and pathway.
Red marker could also be a joining indicator.
